#1 "Kilroy was here."

Clap your hands,
Jump for joy.

I was here
Before Kilroy.

:-D

#3 Good Lord, Mrs. D! I don't think we had rap back in the 1960's when I was in high school. Or maybe I heard that little ditty in grade school - not sure.

It's not original with me, and it's old as the hills, but it still cracks me up. ;-p

#4 When I was in grade school in the 1960s, we chalked ''Kilroy was here'' on the playground equipment.

This Sunday is the 60th anniversary of VE Day. For those who are interested in WWII history, may I recommend ''Tin Can Man,'' by Emory Jernigan. Rate this one PG-16; it's the gob's eye view of destroyer service, including brief but very personal descriptions of shore leave. Read Tin Can Man, and then go dig up a fat book in the Library, ''The United States Navy in WWII,'' compiled in the 60s from various sources. You can cross reference the Big Picture with the gob's point of view of the same action.

Also go dig up Ernie Pyle in the Library, and glom your own copy if you run across it at the used book store.
